*--I thought there was no real race in the 8th Congressional District and no imaginable reason for Right to Life not to just exclusively endorse Mike Bishop. I was wrong. Right to Life endorsed Bishop and Tom McMillin. Someone surmised last night on social media that this is a sign of Bishop's declining clout within the party. I think it's more a nod to the nutters who love McMillin, that even after McMillin gets creamed in August that his supporters will long remember a perceived slight.

As to that last one, if you're a campaign that wants to get news out, send tips to ebaerren@michiganliberal.com and I will give an honest try to putting stuff into these posts. Don't care if it's a Congressional campaign or a city council race.
